Cinemas around Croydon

The Vue staff at counter were polite and helpful. The theatre was clean and had comfortable seating. I had an isle seat which offered good room space. The lighting was perfect, and so was the quality of the pictures on screen. The toilets were clean.
I did not buy any food because I wasn't hungry although I think the prices were a bit high. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.
I booked tickets and seats online which was easy to do and saved time.

Great cinema. No parking space nearby sadly but on the flipside it's positively surrounded by lots and lots of diverse entertainment and restaurants and pubs. From American style to British to Tapas to African to Jamaican. It's also very close to the Library and shopping zones. Buses and trams are less than 1 or 2 minutes walk away!

This is very close to both stations in Croydon and a lovely little gem, the room sits about 50 people and it's quite small and intimate which I liked. I got to see Call Me by Your Name for £5 which is a very good deal. Would definitely go back.

I go to the this VUE cinema a lot watching about 25 movies a year. Most of the time its clean but there are some occasions when I arrive that the staff have not cleaned the auditorium and I have to wait, so they do a rush job which means they miss cleaning up properly. But over all its a great place to watch films as there are lots of screens, all are 4K and 3D is sometimes available.

Food's nice but portions are overpriced. You're left feeling like you have been scammed once you seen what you've paid for. Also management should be doing regular checks on staff to make sure they are delivering a good customer service/can do attitude, rather than I'm here because I need to be.

Theatres for Croydon

The Fairfield Halls puts on some great shows and I can only complement them for this. I have enjoyed every show I've seen here. However, the building is well overdue for being renovated, something I believe is planned very soon.
Update: 2017 - March 2018 Works are well under way after a delay of about a year. The contractor only seems to employ 7 people at one time as you never really see many builders on site so god only knows if the building is going to be open on time. Only part of the building has been pulled down & nothing (externally at least) much seems to be moving.

This is a nice venue with appalling parking. The staff are friendly and the stage is lovely. Pretty average prices but the car park exit is so small that when everyone leaves a performance you can spend 45 minutes (no joke) in the queue to get to the exit. Park close to the exit for best results.
